Wildlife Commission Approves Slate of Resolutions and Rule Changes

Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commissioners approved three emergency rules and five resolutions affecting hunting, fishing and wildlife during their regular meeting June 22 in Oklahoma City.

The emergency rules begin immediately but will be considered as permanent additions during the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s regular rule change process later this year. The new rules: Create a two-day waiting period for any nonresident deer hunting license purchased while the season is open.

Establish a license for outfitters and hunting guides operating waterfowl and sandhill crane hunts.
